: It is important in order to be successful in business to establish goals and focus. You are right about having short term goals, even daily goals, to help get you there. Great analogy with the HUD.

: Yes, hold you head high. In drag racing, there are incremental timers at 60ft, 330ft, 660ft, 1000ft then the finish line, 1320ft from the start. Each one is a goal, to get to each point quicker, and to be there at the finish 1st! Great analogy.

: Hi Steve,

I can't count the number of folks I've met in life who's highest goal was to get through the day. Makes getting through the next year seem impossible, and just forget about anything more. What's to look forward to and live for without keeping one's head up and looking farther ahead than where one is at the moment?

I appreciate you,

: It's true that you can have multiple streams of income, or passive income, with a home business. I've always been uneasy about depending on just ONE source of income, so with an online business, especially, it's possible to have lots of different sources for your money. That way if one goes sour, there are replacements. One more reason to love the Net! :-)

: Definitely, there are more people beginning to realize that home business and working for yourself is the way to go. Nobody can ever tell you that you are laid off or fired. And yes, your right, with the ability to add multiple income streams, it's smart not to put all of your eggs into one basket.

: Home business are a great way to make additional income. I've started my internet business with no income or traffic. It been watching my small website grow and it's especially fun to see my pages first on google. I find that the tax advantages are the biggest advantage of creating a home based business.

Stock Market Research - Calendar Cycles

Submitted by Mmentors from blog: Today I continue my series on cycles.

: Nice article. Too often failure is seen as failure, not just another step on the ladder to success. When you're discovered the reason for why something didn't work, the sensible person evaluates, looks to what can change, discovers the why and attacks the issue again. If no anaylsis is done and failure becomes a repeated process, then you are a failure, because you failed to learn, grow and move forward.

Vicki Zerbee,

: Small business owners should be concerned about the how the present economy is affecting them now, and in the near future. The news, economic strategists, and even our President, say that the situation is going to get worse before it gets better. The other side is that it does appear that small businesses will be stronger once we get through the recession because people are more afraid of large corporations. That is a good thing although it is hard for small businesses to feel that way right now. I heard last week of a poll that said there is now increased confidence in small businesses. Hopefully that leads us into recovery.

if you can only be soooo lucky to find a mentor/coach sooner rather than later who has your best interest at heart the sooner success online will follow ...

: It was funny to see 'needing a hubby' from a guy. :-) Your article is spot on, though, because just getting a name on your list doesn't mean much of anything. This is even more true in the age of social media where the buyer has all the power. Consumers have gotten much more savvy and are demanding high quality products and excellent customer service. All honest biz owners should applaud this development.

There are great educational products out there that help us learn exactly how to "build it so that they will come."

Customer service can be integrated, a social aspect, and definitely information about the products and services offered and their benefits and solutions.

: I hear what you're saying about the problems in setting up a 'traditional' site, vs a blog. Actually, though, I find the blog harder to manage because there is less freedom. I can do things with Dreamweaver and HTML that my Wordpress blog can't do. However, a blog has one huge advantage of a static site: RSS. You've gotta love auto-announcements whenever you make a new post.
